"Tube Snaked", Way to Die #119, is the third death featured in "Today's Menu: Deep Fried Death", which aired on December 8, 2010.
Plot[]
Tina was a woman who lived in her underwear and was an opportunist, who only accepted successful men. She left her rock star boyfriend after his record deal budget fell through. She threw out his belongings and he left angry, but he was in such a hurry that he forgot his pet - a boa constrictor. Tina wrapped the snake around her neck and made fun of her ex-boyfriend, but then the snake started to strangle the opportunistic fan for fear of falling to the ground, but since Tina was also a snake, she managed to get rid of the snake and threw it into the grass. The snake was no competition for this Medusa, but the house was the only home he knew, and he found a pipe to return. That night, Tina turned up the heat and started drinking. Meanwhile, the boa got into a ventilation duct. As time passed, Tina started to feel dizzy and nauseous. She thought she was getting drunk, but that wasn't it. Tina did not know that her boyfriend's snake had settled in the boiler's ventilation duct. The boiler produced carbon monoxide, which was trapped in the house. The house was filled with the gas and Tina was wrapped in a concentration of 1600 parts per million. The dirty little woman staggered through her ghetto home, passed out and died, sending this bitch to the Hell where she belonged.
"The snake was no match for this Medusa. But this was the only home he knew. So he found a way back in. That night, Tina, who seemed to live in her underwear, cranked up the heat, and hit the bottle. Meanwhile, the boa had snaked his way into a warm exhaust vent on its way back into the house. As time passed, Tina began to feel dizzy and nauseous. She thought was getting a good buzz on. But not this time. This time, the low-rent skank staggered around her ghetto pad, toppled over...and died."
